The accurate means for sensing the input voltage and pro- current comparator input threshold increases with this gramming the start-up threshold for the converter. The control voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V falling RUN pin threshold is nominally 1.248V and the to 1.40V. comparator has 100mV of hysteresis for noise immunity. FB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from the external When the RUN pin is below this input threshold, the IC resistor divider across the output. Nominal voltage for is shut down and the VIN supply current is kept to a low this pin in regulation is 1.230V. value (typ 10μA). The Absolute Maximum Rating for the voltage on this pin is 7V. FREQ (Pin 4): A resistor from the FREQ pin to ground programs the operating frequency of the chip. The nominal voltage at the FREQ pin is 0.6V. 18711fb 6
